Hi Beth,

I like this a lot; I wanted the chorus to hook me stronger, but this can work without that.

I thought "pain" needed a modifier, and "spoon" was old fashioned, but not impossible. "First" afternoon...if you are trying to say that her and her lover cheated several times, but the first was the best,--that's what that one word seems to say, there. Ah, I love words!!!

The feeling I come away with is of her in a couple of muddled relationships...The Husband gets to be "he", the singer sings to her ex lover...yet she "settles", so you know, maybe this is "smokey jazz", lol grin
